I was thinking of a few of my NYC pals Kevin & Cindy, who spearhead an '80s cover band called The Fades that played a gig at LES' Fontanas on Thursday. It got me to remembering mainstream 80s music, much of which I have not listened to in a while (exception Billy Idol - never out of style on my record player). In the mid 80s, I was mostly listening to American indie/alt/college rock (REM, dBs, Replacements, Husker Du, Soul Asylum, Talking Heads) or British wave (Bauhaus, New Order, Cure, Smiths, U2, Echo & the [...]
One of the overriding themes of this blog is the fact that, quite frankly, I'm getting on a bit. Yeah, sure, I'm not quite reading Q or Mojo yet, but I'll be 40 in a few years and that mid-life crisis is going to start gnawing at my toes soon. If I start doing posts about my knees hurting or how I'm going to go out and buy me a Porsche, then you know it's hit me right between the eyes. In the interim I shall just do posts like these, in which I bemoan the [...]
By Michaelangelo Matos Indie isn't a genre any more than alternative was, but it denotes something important about the music in its tent -- where it came from, where it might go. ( iStockPhoto ) In a sense, the word "indie" crept up on the '00s. It didn't stage a hostile takeover on American rock fans [...]
What if the Rolling Stones emerged from the American South instead of Southern England? Or say the Replacements didn't reign over the midwest, but instead wrote their brand of raw rock in the bluegrass of Kentucky . Well, then it'd be a lot easier to describe the racket drummed up by Bowling Green natives Cage The Elephant . [...]
The Uptown Bar, once deemed "The House The Replacements Built", was piled into the ground with a wrecking ball earlier today. City Pages has some photos of the desruction. The venue, which was sold earleir this year, hosted a month of so of farewell shoes as a tribute to the Twin Cities' rock mecca it once was. The bar had made plans to re-open at a South Minneapolis location, but complications and liquor permit restrictions have prevented this from happening at this point. For now, it serves as a memory of a musical era in the Twin Cities [...]
Apesar do pouco público, a estréia do Holger em terra cariocas, a micareta do Gogol e shows pra lá de competentes de Super Furry Animals e El Mato A Un Policia Motorizado garantiram o sucesso da segunda edição do Festival Indie Rock. Holger Precisa dizer que valeu a espera? Enfim, os poucos que já estavam na Fundição Progresso quando o Holger finalmente subiu num palco carioca podem fazer coro comigo que valeu sim esperar esse tempo todo por um show dos caras. [...]
In 1969 Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker disbanded from James Brown to peruse other interests, leaving James to find replacements. He recruited The Pacemakers , a Cincinnati based band featuring a young Bootsy Collins on Bass. What Bootsy brought was a vitality and energy that seemed to go hand in hand with Browns raw brand of infectious music. This new band was based entirely on rhythm and brought Brown's energy to a new level. Unfortunately this collaboration only lasted one year as Bootsy wanted to push the funk farther than James would allow. [...]
They Might Be Giants: We're The Replacements [ purchase ] I mean, for months we were on the road behind 10,000 Maniacs. We were playing the same cities, and in a lot of cases, the same venues -- but just, like, a day before, or a day after. You just come to realize that...every hotel you've stayed at, they were there the day before. Every highway you drive down, every truckstop you go in, every... venue you play, every PA guy you meet -- they've [...]
(Editor's note: today's interview comes to us with permission from Cleveland Bachelor , where the Q&A was originally posted. Yesterday was one of those work days that you dread, meeting after meeting after meeting. From the moment I got to work until nearly 4 PM, I was shuffling from one room to another, trading brain cells for increased self-loathing every additional minute. Mere seconds after finally sitting down in my chair back in my dank big boy office, the alarm on my phone went off. I looked at it, wondering what it was I was reminding myself [...]
Last night's Lucero show taught me a couple of things. The first thing is that I am apparently an old bastard now and the front row at a show might be a little too much for me. Be kind to me on that one as my ego (read: belief that I am Peter Pan) is a little sore along various other parts of me. The second, and more important. thing is that sometimes changing a thing that you love can make it better... This tour has been reviewed all over the place and it seems our [...]
The Replacements: Alex Chilton [ purchase ] Whenever I listen to an '80s album from a great rock band like the Replacements, I can't help but wonder what it might have sounded like had it been recorded in some other decade--any other decade, really. The major-label '80s production on Pleased to Meet Me takes some of the excitement out of the band. But for for 1987, it rocks. The album was recorded at Ardent Studios in Memphis, where Alex Chilton's second important band, Big [...]

Chad Curtis of The Saltshakers has created a more garage-styled follow up to the Up All Night LP. With the addition of guitarist Nick Woods (Box Social) and bassist Jamie Owart the band still has that high energy sugar shot that pop fans expect and admire. Similar to Weezer or The Buzzcocks in tone and relentless pace, it blasts through the catchy opener "Please Don't Walk Away" so well it sounds effortless. The songs are deceptively simple but full of great hooks, and a great example is "This World Can Wear Us [...]
Ryan Adams can be too hard on himself. Let It B-Minus may not be his highest-graded collection, but the sessions certainly deserved release beyond his Web site, circa 2006, where it emerged alongside goofball, Garage Band-y albums under his monikers DJ Reggie and Warren Peace. But Let It B-Minus , recorded as Sad Dracula, is a more serious affair. An homage to the Replacements' album of the similar name, Let It B-Minus was recorded in the faded style of Cold Roses and played with the Danzigian fury of Rock [...]

Faces to reunite w/o Rod Stewart
The Faces now appear set to embark on a reunion tour in 2010, but not in the way one would probably hope for. Despite comments to the contrary, frontman Rod Stewart will not join former bandmates guitarist Ron Wood, keyboardist Ian McLagan and drummer Kenney Jones on any of the band's upcoming ventures, McLagan has confirmed to Billboard.com . "If we don't do it very soon, one of us is gonna check out," McLagan explaines. "I'm 64, for chrissakes! We've been waiting and waiting for Rod to say yes; now he's finally said [...]

Recs from Tegan and Sara
OK, they are really just from Sara but if I just put Sara up there then you'd be at a loss for who's recommending these great albums! I'm not sure if this is ok...but...what i am most struck by when I'm speaking to our fans is how many of them don't know some of the bands and albums that were super influential on me when I was a teenager! So instead of picking obscure bands, I thought I might just recommend five albums that people might not know about that are still as important [...]

Five Possible Replacements for Steven Tyler In Aerosmith, Including Morrissey
The Saltshakers "Lights Out"
Chad Curtis of The Saltshakers has created a more garage-styled follow up to the Up All Night LP. With the addition of guitarist Nick Woods (Box Social) and bassist Jamie Owart the band still has that high energy sugar shot that pop fans expect and admire. Similar to Weezer or The Buzzcocks in tone and relentless pace, it blasts through the catchy opener "Please Don't Walk Away" so well it sounds effortless.

Don't tell a soul? British band's singer can't stop talking about the Replacements (PopWire)
Star Tribune (Minneapolis) (MCT) -- ReplacementsEddie Argos has a beef with Craig Finn. The thickly accented, Kermit-the-Frog-voiced singer for London's garage-punk band Art Brut holds a grudge against the Hold Steady frontman from back when their bands toured together in 2007. If only Argos had been introduced to a certain someone else back then. "You'd think that somewhere along in the tour, Craig would have said, 'Hey, Eddie, have you heard of this band the Replacements?'" Argos said in a...
The Replacements: share your personal stories for new doc
Do you have a story about The Replacements? Did you meet them? See them? Did Paul Westerberg vomit on you in the '80s? Did they influence your life somehow? If you answered yes to any of these questions Director Gorman Bechard wants to hear from you and share your story. Bechard is in the process of making a fan documentary of my all-time favorite rock n' roll band. Check out the website
